I was wondering if any of you had heard anything on president Bush signing bills involving the crp or any other bills concerning ducks? A friend of mine @ a cookout last night ask me if I had heard anything about it.Just looking for some info if any of you have it.

One of the benefits of being a DU member is that information like this appears in their bi-monthly magazine. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
